I prefer the ones from Fiji. Also they get a lot more color as they get bigger a lot of red shows out.

My pictoides arrived. Not super healthy on arrival as the seller wouldn’t send it airport to airport so it was in the mail for 2 days. It should recover though as i’m dripping it and got an air stone in there now. My one is a young male, it has the most beautiful colours that my camera doesn’t do justice. Salmon pink on top with a yellowish stripe along with the black and white. It’s about 8-10cm or so. I also have a meleagrides, P.guentheri, neoguinacus and some others arriving tomorrow.

That sounds more like you’re talking about a Maladives or Vanuatu Variant. The Fiji don’t really get red they remain bluer but the Vanuatu and Maldives variants get redder as well as more yellow.

Good morning
I have a Bell's Flasher Wrasse + Bluethroat Wrasse + Rosy Scales Fairy Wrasse. After an initial chase around of the Bell's Flasher when I introduced him last week, they are all now getting along fine.
I have a 90 gallon/4 ft display tank. I'm adding some more sand to the bottom of my tank to allow for more burrowing (it's really thinned out with vacuuming and my battle with diatoms). I have plenty of places for them to swim under and through but I was thinking of adding some rubble rock/frag zone rock to make some tighter spaces so that the swim throughs are smaller and pretty much for them as opposed to my tangs etc.
Would I be able to have an additional Brunneus Fairy Wrasse AND an Exquisite Fairy OR Yellow Flanked Wrasse??

Mine is always front and center. It's nice to see it out and about. It is slowly showing a little more red and yellow as it acclimates. I did have to click over to sport mode on my DSLR to get a pic though as it is moving constantly.

It’s early and I’m tired so I’ll make you do the hard work and find all the wrasse you want on this chart. If the new wrasse is far removed from the ones you have then you may be good to go.

You need to host on YouTube for iPhone users to see them.

I used that chart and made my best assumption on what would work. This is more a question on if the amount of wrasses in the tank is feasible and for additional input. I figured I can switch Brunneus to Lubbocks if I need to?
brunneus is timid, in my limited experience with them. Not a fighter. Might be better off with the lubbocki, as they have a rep for holding their ground better.

You do have some of the more aggressive fairies so adding another may be difficultI used that chart and made my best assumption on what would work.

Can’t see the video either. Does your Coris Pictoides have a pronounced overbite because mine does?

It's eating just fine, so I'm not worried, but is this mouth normal? She seems to have a massive overbite.

Very true
Honestly, probably wouldn’t have gotten it had I not seen it in my LFS’s DT. It really does stand out!

Once everything is bright, you notice the dark spots! See my black ocellaris hosting in my toadstool way more strikingly than the orange

I think it is an abnormality. Can’t find anything like it online. Oh and it’s a male I think. So shouldn’t have said SheIt's eating just fine, so I'm not worried, but is this mouth normal? She seems to have a massive overbite.
